Next Chelsea Manager: 5 managers who could replace Conte at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte will leave his post, despite leading Chelsea to an unlikely Premier League title win last season. Below are the leading candidates to replace the Italian, according to Football.London. Luis Enrique The second manager to win a treble with Barcelona after Pep Guardiola. After Conte, Roman Abramovich looks set to appoint a manager who will seek to play on the front foot whenever possible.  Luis Enrique has already shown he can inspire a team with the intensity to achieve great things. Maurizio Sarri The architect behind Napoli’s title challenge this season. The coach sets his team out to dominate games with positive, precise football and get fan on their feet, and unlike Conte he is happy to work with whatever he is given in the transfer window. Diego Simeone According to some of his admirers, Simeone is the new Jose Mourinho. Simeone has rebuilt Atleltico Madrid into one of Europe’s heavyweight sides, winning the La Liga title in an era where Barcelona and Real Madrid have won 12 of the last 13. If he’s available, Chelsea must sound him out. Massimiliano Allegri Allegri took a team that was built to devour Serie A by Conte and turned it into a force to be reckoned with in Europe, replacing the old heads his predecessor relied upon and showing an excellent eye for mid-game tactical changes. Conte’s successor at Juventus has excelled as a tinkerer to keep an already successful side winning but what he would find at Chelsea after Conte would not be a team running quite smoothly as the one he took on at Juventus. Leonardo Jardim His ability to work with young players to emphasis their talent in a team that plays on the break, whether on the front-foot as was the case in their title-winning season, or by sitting back when his Monaco side gave Arsenal problems in the Champions League.
